Zeppelin Bend
A knot that is made by interlocking various overhands, the Zeppelin Bend
has historically been used to secure various airships, and is perfect for when
you don’t want items to be jammed together. The Zeppelin can both be
secured and untied as easily as possible, and is one of the most secure knots
around—not to mention, strong, too!

Instructions:
1. Get both of the ropes and make a bight out of them.
2. Let each end pass around itself so you could have two bights: one
on top, and the other at the bottom.
3. Tighten around the middle and you’d have the Zeppelin Bend!
